THE ISSUE

One of the major political issues in the U.S. and in Chinahas been international trade with each other and othernations. As global interdependence has increased, politicalpressure in the U.S. has been to re-examine or eliminatetrade agreements. The Trump administration has said thattariffs on trade, specifically on manufactured goods, wouldbenefit the manufacturing industry and restore jobs. Chinahas threatened tariffs to counteract U.S. tariffs.

lf tariffs are imposed on imported goods, what are theeconomic impacts on the Chinese and American economies?What are the effects on the manufacturing industry; onother industries; on the work force in general? Are thereproblems created by trade restrictions? If so, how is thegovernment going to address them; i.e., should there beother policies that should be examined other than tariffs?

解题思路（仅供参考）

让我们先来梳理一下题目中提出的问题：

关税对中国和美国在经济上的影响是什么？

在长期或短期内，哪一方是受益者，而哪一方的利益受到了损害？

关税对于制造业，其他行业以及劳动力市场的影响是什么？

团队任务：

要求为中国和美国两方都提出政策建议。

在国际贸易领域，政府是否应该干预？

如果政府要进行干预，什么样的政策是合适的？

这些问题看似复杂无从下手，但这个题只要抓住以下几个核心的东西，就不难解决了

中美两国的目标：促进本国经济增长。

美国的做法：希望通过进阶净出口额来促进经济增长，实施了关税政策。中国作为美国最大的贸易伙伴之一，很多产品被征收了关税，净出口额受到了非常大的影响。
